The Core Specials

Coming out Here and There over the Year

Our range of Core Specials offers a flavoursome and different experience then those of our Core Range, but as these suit different seasonal periods we only produce them some of the months during the year, rather than all year round. Although that hasn't stopped some beers remaining popular for several months in a row.

 

All our Core Specials are available in 9 Gallon Casks and 5/10/20 Litre Bag in Boxes. Sailors Gold and Amber Anchor are also available in 500ml Bottles.

Sailors Gold

ALC. 4.5% Vol. | IBU: 17.5

A quest to create a truly crisp and refreshing ale. Our Sailor's Gold sets out to be a special treasure in our selection of beers. This beer started life as a desire to have something full of flavour while retaining lightness and complexity. We ended up producing a slightly stronger beer than we set out to originally, but after some experimenting over a few batches we realised we had it spot on first try. What was supposed to be a one off became one of our top sellers and a true member of our Core Specials.
